Extracellular vesicles (EVs) aren't just cellular debris. They influence viral transmission, immune modulation, and disease outcomes. This #mBio review summarizes current insights into EV biogenesis, cargo, and their dual role in infection & pathogenesis. https://t.co/beeZZeMl1x

A breakthrough mouse model for chronic #Salmonella Typhi infection is here: ✅ Mimics human carrier state ✅ Reveals gallstone biofilm dynamics ✅ Enables testing of anti-biofilm therapies This could transform #typhoid research & treatment strategies https://t.co/f9HCUhM5Gq #mBio

#Tuberculosis is the deadliest bacterial infection, and its secret weapon is a tough cell envelope. New research in #mBio reveals two lipoproteins that help build this barrier and boost drug resistance. Targeting them could open new paths for TB treatment. https://t.co/EFe5oSWrmg

CutRS & CssRS sense secretion stress in #Streptomyces. Deleting cutRS rewires stress responses and bypasses glucose repression, boosting #antibiotic production for industrial use. https://t.co/mtlZVf054P #mBio #actinobacteria

A dietary long-chain fatty acid (oleic acid) enhances Candida albicans colonization of the murine gut partly by modifying the fungal cell surface. The findings highlight the importance of the fungal cell wall in interacting with intestinal mucus. #mBio: https://t.co/NhSGGJbOIE

Invasive fungal infections are on the rise, and understanding host-fungal interactions is crucial. This #mBio minireview shows how fungal #melanin acts as a stealth virulence factor, subverting immunity during respiratory infections. https://t.co/YwFkzpOjvx #antifungal #mycology

What happened to flu, RSV, and other respiratory viruses during #COVID19? A 7-year analysis of 3M+ tests in NYC reveals a striking “pandemic gap” of viral absences. Public health measures plus possible trained immunity reshaped virus seasonality. #Virology https://t.co/sVib5LTiWS

Laptop-based graphical user interface for detection and analysis of irregularly shaped bacterial cells in dense communities. Swarmetrics is an image capture and analysis pipeline to study cellular variation in complex microbial environments. https://t.co/H7J7bp4JIe #mBio #GUI

New insights into #malaria transmission. Niedermüller et al. identify novel proteins shaping #Plasmodium falciparum gametocytes - key players in their morphogenesis and potential targets to block transmission. https://t.co/8aNsMim02t #parasitology

Short reviews with big insights! Explore #mBio's Minireview Collection: we've gathered all recently published minireviews in one convenient place. Look no further for expert overviews and perspectives from leading researchers across the microbial sciences.

Presumably, HIV-1 transcription passively follows host gene activity at the HIV-1 integration site. However, research in #mBio suggests this is not the case, and that HIV-1 promoter-driven transcriptional activity dominated over the host promoter activity. https://t.co/CM9O7gxYqj

Fletcher et al. show that commensal-derived short-chain fatty acids destabilize #Staphylococcus aureus membranes, reshaping its physiology and drug susceptibility. https://t.co/hzYLZ6kZVj @CFreeChem @KM_Hines #mBio #anaerobes #lipidomics

Antibiotic resistant #Enterococcus faecium infections are very difficult to treat. This #mBio study shows that disruption of normal membrane component lipoteichoic acid restores daptomycin susceptibility to even the most resistant strains of E. faecium. https://t.co/EfC3rSLZOA

Lower levels of Faecalibacterium are linked to inflammatory bowel disease and early-onset colorectal cancer. This new #mBio mGem examines its role in gut health, butyrate production, and strategies to restore its abundance. https://t.co/Wxjtr9i22B #IBD #microbiome #GutHealth

Congrats to 2 recipients of prizes sponsored by #mBio at the @SAIB_Argentina 2025 Congress! Maria Taborra of IBR-CONICET was a best poster winner, and Fabrizzio Morandini of CIBICI-CONICET won best oral communication. Expect more great things from these early-career researchers!

What decides the “winners” in a microbial community? It's not only competitive traits; rare microbes play a key role. This #mBio study offers a “nomination-voting” model, showing how rare taxa collectively shape which species become dominant. #microbiome https://t.co/tb3u4VIaBu
